Mark Herring, 60, of Bethpage, Tenn., was inundated with text messages asking him to give up his @Tennessee Twitter handle. When he ignored the requests, Sonner and his buddies began having food delivered to his home via cash on delivery. Eventually, when subjects of their harassment refused to sell or give up their username, the group would swat their targets.”]
